Description Jesse Glick 2000-11-06 14:26:09 UTC

See subject. This behavior seems odd at least, perhaps incorrect. Docs for
getQualifier state that it gives a package name, but this is an outer class
name. Unclear whether the problem is in org.openide.src or in the clazz-module
implementation.

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2000-11-06 14:27:59 UTC

Sorry, dev trunk Oct 30th.

Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2000-11-06 16:27:59 UTC

Identifier.getQualifier() javadoc is misleading, I am afraid. The identifier has
no safe way how it could determine the *package*. It can only return the prefix
before the last dot. In the case of inner classes, the prefix equals to FQN of
the outer class.

Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2001-01-15 08:03:59 UTC

Javadoc changed.

Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2001-02-22 11:07:48 UTC

[010221_2] Verified

Comment 6 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 16:43:57 UTC

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
